Who doesn’t have a Facebook page today? Over 500 million people all over the world use Facebook. Even my Mother uses Facebook! Most of us cannot get enough of it. For so many of us, checking our Facebook page is the first thing we look at each morning and last thing we look at each night. It can be contagious!
Why is Facebook so popular? People are in desperate need of social interaction. Many people are lonely and feel isolated. Facebook is a great way to communicate and develop connections with other people. People need other people. Social interaction is an extremely important component for happiness. Facebook is a perfect way to stay in touch with family and friends to make new contacts and new friends. With today’s technology, information is now at our fingertips. Facebook, for the most part, can be a positive experience…great photos, awesome memories, a great tool for communication, interesting posts, etc. Very rarely are we subjected to negativity on Facebook. However, we should be careful to use and activate all of the privacy and security features offered on Facebook. There is always the opportunity for strangers, stalkers and anyone who may want to bring harm to you to find you and track you. Another downside of Facebook is that you can easily get caught up and become obsessed or addicted to Facebook wasting valuable time that you could be using for more productive uses in your life. Be careful and don’t be obsessive…any addiction is not welcome.
I love Facebook and I think if offers us a positive social experience which is key to a better quality lifestyle. What do you think? Do you feel that Facebook is a waste of time or it is a way of creating a more constructive and positive social interaction with other people? I’d love to hear your feedback.
